The greedy one gathered all the cherries, while the simple one tasted all the cherries in one.

When we don't get what we want, there's a legitimate grieving, and then the spiritual journey truly begins, because not getting what we want breaks our self-reference; and once that is broken, we are aware that we are a part of a larger whole. It changes everything.

The journey is made easier when we can accept that the process of living is designed for what matters to come through us tenderly.

Whatever opens us is not as important as what it opens.
